This is due to a flaw in the Fedora PKGNAME-owner aliases and using them also for EPEL. There are no separate aliases for EPEL package ownership. In pkgdb one can see that there is a different owner for the EPEL package: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/acls/name/rt3 The person has been active in koji a day ago. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
